follow me on twitter for niche redwall jokes in the year 2017 and to support my search for copernicus’ fursona

at the start of the original book, Redwall, Cluny the Scourge and his whole band ride in on a wagon hitched to a horse, implying that there are - or were - humans somewhere in the setting; this is also implied by the existence of the quarry and the description of a ‘barn cat’. theory: Redwall is set in a post-apocalyptic future where humans have all but destroyed themselves, and the animals have built their new civilisation by copying what they once saw people do. this means they’ve also inherited random scraps of human knowledge, like the fact that the earth revolves around the sun, without actually having any astronomers. also consider the fact that animal lifespans are much, much shorter than human ones, so even though the series spans successive generations, that might all take place in less than a century.
